anathoth (Jeremiah 32:1-3a, 6-15)

hope isthe pool of cool water found on the driest, hardest days of the journey, where i can be refreshed with life;the needle and thread held gently in your fingers, as you cradled me on your lap gently stitching my soul back together;the parcel in the kingdom i purchased when i said 'yes' all those years ago, and no matter how many times i have lived 'no' since then, the deed is still kept safely deposited in your heart;the smell of the warm bread just out of the oven and placed on the table set with glory, telling me you have been waiting for me to come homehope simplyis . . .
